Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 759 - 333 Acting Sect Leader Saint Lu "Does the Wandao Sect turn to you to run wild?"_2
However, Zhiyu clearly wasn't focused on this. As they walked, she curiously looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, pointing here and there, constantly asking, "Is it tasty?" or "Can we eat this?"...
Lu Jin'an, feeling helpless, decided to teach her common knowledge through food.
Once Zhiyu stopped relying on her unsteady steps, the group quickly arrived at the Order Enforcement Hall.
The bustling Order Enforcement Hall made the Zhiyu in his arms instinctively go "Oh," but realizing there was nothing tasty, she lost interest and focused her attention on Lu Jin'an's face.
She secretly swallowed her saliva. Master's head must be filled with delicious things, smelling better than before.
"Greetings, Saint Heir!"
On the steps in front of the main hall of the Order Enforcement Hall, Chief Disciple Ji Wenchen hurriedly came out to greet them. Lu Jin'an placed Zhiyu on the ground: "Where is Master Xue?"
Ji Wenchen bowed and smiled, "The Sect Master asked you to act as the acting sect leader, so Master and the others decided to let us also act in their stead, then they just disappeared to who knows where."
"I see..."
"Yes, Senior Brother and the others haven't brought the people over yet. Saint Heir, please come in and wait." Ji Wenchen invited, stepping aside.
Lu Jin'an nodded and, after taking a couple of steps, looked back at Qiu Qingtang standing in place, "You come in too."
Qiu Qingtang blinked and said demurely, "I'll just wait here."
The Order Enforcement Hall was, after all, the hub of the Wandao Sect, where most of the orders were issued. It wasn't fitting for a demon clan member like her to go in.
Lu Jin'an smiled, "It's fine, at worst, you can just sit on a chair near the outside."
Qiu Qingtang rolled her eyes at him, "Then this humble lady will graciously accept."
With that, she led Xiao Li up the steps.
Inside the main hall of the Order Enforcement Hall, there weren't many people. Once Lu Jin'an took his seat, Ji Wenchen handed him a Jade Scroll, "This is the background of those people down the mountain."
Lu Jin'an picked it up to browse through. Zhiyu climbed onto his lap, still secretly curious, cautiously touching things to see if there was anything tasty.
Ji Wenchen glanced at Zhiyu, wondering when the Taichu Hall got such a little girl, but didn't ask further.
"How did the task I assigned to Wuya turn out?" Lu Jin'an asked while supporting Zhiyu's small waist.
"Over a dozen people from the group down the mountain have left, but more than two hundred remain, wanting an explanation." Ji Wenchen said, "Senior Brother and the others are bringing them over now." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Lu Jin'an murmured an "Hmm" as a young girl in Inner Sect disciple attire entered from the door with a tea tray. After placing a cup on the table for Lu Jin'an and the others, she went to Ji Wenchen, "Master, have some tea."
"You've taken a disciple?" Lu Jin'an glanced at Ji Wenchen surprised, "Since when?"
"Just a few days ago." Ji Wenchen smiled, "She has excellent talent, earned merits on the frontlines, and was promoted to Inner Sect disciple, so Master had me take her as a disciple. Her name is Zhang Yanling."
He said, extending his hand to take the tea Zhang Yanling handed over, and stroked her head, "How's your practice of the 'Cloud Roll Heart Method'?"
"There are some parts I don't understand..."
"Here, take this to reference." Ji Wenchen handed her a Jade Scroll.
"Thank you, Master."
Opposite her, Zhiyu looked curiously at the Jade Scroll in Zhang Yanling's hand. She had tasted such scrolls before, and they weren't tasty at all, but her little head was thinking of something else.
Zhiyu looked at the teacup on the table and reached out her little hand to touch it, but Lu Jin'an stood up, looking towards the outside of the hall at that moment.
Zhiyu pouted her lips and simply jumped from Lu Jin'an's lap, swaying left and right towards the table, focused on her task, tiptoeing to reach the teacup.
"We want to see Sect Master Zheng. What are you doing bringing us to the Order Enforcement Hall? You juniors are not qualified to handle this matter!"
"Let's go to Taiyi Peak... Why are you stopping us? Stand aside!"
"Hiding demon clans like this, are you worthy of the soldiers at the Two Realms Pass? If you block us again, don't blame this old man for being rude!"
"Jiang Wuya, if you're going to stop us, don't blame..."
"Elder Huang has quite the temper!"
From inside the hall, Lu Jin'an stepped out expressionlessly, looking down at the more than two hundred people gathered at the base of the stairs, finally focusing his gaze on the old man at the forefront, Huang Wenchang, "The Wandao Sect has its rules. Since you're an elder, show some respect."
"Lu Jin'an?" Huang Wenchang looked up at Lu Jin'an, straightening his robes and bowing, "Saint Lu, we..."
"The Sect Master is in seclusion, I, the Saint Heir, am acting on his behalf." Lu Jin'an said calmly, "Speak to me directly if you have something to say."
Huang Wenchang's expression changed slightly, after pondering for a few seconds, he looked up at Lu Jin'an, "Saint Lu, the Wandao Sect harboring demon clans and half-demons, especially since these demons are your master's... Blood is thicker than water, you can't make the call on this!"
Lu Jin'an glanced at Huang Wenchang's eyes and said to Jiang Wuya and the others, "Since they can't understand words, just expel them from the sect's mountain gate."
Huang Wenchang winced. The Wandao Sect's mountain gate isn't a place you can enter and exit freely. If expelled, could they ever return?
Seeing Jiang Wuya and other direct disciples approaching, Huang Wenchang hurriedly changed his tune, "Since Saint Lu is in charge now, I'll speak frankly. The Wandao Sect harboring demon beasts..."
Before he could finish, Lu Jin'an interrupted, "You can speak, but I'll ask you a few questions first."
"First, have my master and senior sister ever done anything to harm the Human Clan?"
"They belong to the Upper Realm Demon Clan; the Upper Realm has countless beastly deeds, so they are all enemies. And even if they haven't harmed the Human Clan now, it doesn't mean they won't in the future..."
"I'm asking if they have done so or not, just answer."
Huang Wenchang took a deep breath, "No."
"Second, have my junior brothers and sisters fully explained the situation to you?"
"...They have, but the Demon Clan cannot be trusted, especially female demons, who most disturb and mislead, they should be eradicated..."
"Third!" Lu Jin'an directly cut him off, "After hearing my junior brothers' and sisters' explanations, seventeen cultivators left, but you stayed, so you still believe Wandao Sect is in the wrong?"
Huang Wenchang looked at Lu Jin'an, "Of course it's wrong; the Demon Clan will never give up their desire to annihilate the Human Clan. Half-demons are even more vile. The betrayal at the Two Realms Pass battle by half-demons is still fresh in memory..."
He trailed off as he sensed a murderous intent.
'Does he dare to kill us?'
Huang Wenchang stared at Lu Jin'an, unable to help but clench his fists, hesitating while noticing a wobbly yet cautious little girl appearing beside Lu Jin'an.
"Master, have some tea~" Zhiyu held up the teacup above her head, looking at Lu Jin'an with an expectant face.
Lu Jin'an took the teacup, rubbing Zhiyu's small head as he spoke again, "Wuya and the others have said what needs to be said, and I've asked what needs to be asked, so you still want an explanation, is that right?"
"It's only right!" Huang Wenchang looked at Lu Jin'an, "Demon clans should be exterminated!"
"Many disciples of the Wandao Sect keep spiritual pets, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan is also here to exchange and learn, should they all be exterminated too?"
"That's different!" Huang Wenchang said in a deep voice, "Demon Saints, especially those from the Upper Realm, pose greater threats. As the first Immortal Sect in the world, I only wish for the Wandao Sect not to be deceived by the Demon Clan!
Different species harbor different intentions; even if they now wish to benefit the Human Clan, they will certainly return to the Demon Clan and oppose the Human Clan in the future. Cooperating with a tiger is tantamount to suicide!"
"So you do know that they currently wish to benefit the Human Clan..." Lu Jin'an smiled faintly, "Close the doors."
"Lu Jin'an, what are you implying?" Huang Wenchang's expression changed as he heard the doors of the Order Enforcement Hall closing behind him, "Are you really going to kill us for the Demon Clan?"
Lu Jin'an lowered his gaze slightly, "With the big battle imminent, instead of heading to the Two Realms Pass, you come here to sow discord. Do you know what this is called?
It's called disturbing the morale of the troops."
"You..." Huang Wenchang darkened, pointing a finger straight at Lu Jin'an, "Lu Jin'an, you're betraying the Human Clan by taking a demon master. You should sever ties with them immediately, yet you protect them wholeheartedly. Can you guarantee they won't kill the Human Clan in the future?!
Unless you have them stand up now and swear by the Heavenly Dao as slaves to the Human Clan..."
"Heh..." Lu Jin'an chuckled disdainfully, "Old fool, do you know where you are?"
"The first Immortal Sect in the world, the Wandao Sect!"
"This is the Cultivation World; self-proof antes you? Who do you think you are to cause trouble here?"
Huang Wenchang sensed Lu Jin'an's underlying meaning, his face changing, "Are you really going to kill us for the Demon Clan?! As the Wandao Sect Saint Heir, you actually trust these beasts..."
"If my master and senior sister ever pose a problem in the future, I, the Saint Heir, will take full responsibility..." Lu Jin'an downed the cup of tea in one gulp, spitting out a tea leaf, his eyes indifferent.
"Kill them all."
